Partitioning of inorganic contaminants between fluid fine tailings and cap water under end pit lake scenario: Biological, Chemical and Mineralogical processes
DownloadSpring 2019
Fluid fine tailings (FFT) are generated during bitumen extraction from surface mined oil sands ore (in Alberta, Canada) and comprised of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW), fine particles, unrecovered bitumen and residual diluent. For reclaiming huge volumes of FFT, a viable remediation...
